Hobonichi TSUKI no IRO: Add-on Sticky Notes
The TSUKI no IRO Add-on Sticky Notes are adhesive notes with a 3.7 mm grid from Hobonichi's eponymous stationery range, which translates the twelve gentle monthly colours of the Techo into simple office essentials. When you need extra space in the middle of a Techo page, simply stick a note to the side or top — without having to turn the page. The set includes 40 sheets, printed on both sides and featuring a perforation line for clean folding.
Features
- 3.7 mm grid in grey: The grid matches that of the memo pages in Techo Original and Cousin – when stuck on, the note blends seamlessly into the page layout.
- Double-sided printing: Both front and back feature the grid, effectively doubling the usable writing area per sheet – useful for to-do lists, trackers or more detailed margin notes.
- Perforation line for folding: Fold the note inward along the perforation and nothing protrudes beyond the page edge – your Techo closes as flat as it would without the sticker.
- Flexible format: The dimensions (100 × 84 mm) fit both vertically and horizontally on an Original or Cousin page; vertically, the note also fits in the Weeks.
- Backing card with silver foil logo: The carrier board bears the TSUKI no IRO logo in silver embossing – part of the visually consistent series presentation.
- 40 sheets per set: Plenty of supply for several Techo months.
Use & Tips
- Side wings for to-dos: Stick a note to the side of a daily spread, write your list, fold inward if needed – your Techo stays compact.
- Header notes at the top: Placed at the top of a weekly page, you create space for weekly priorities, habit trackers or a budget line without reducing the daily columns.
- Sketch on front, elaborate on back: The double-sided printing allows you to sketch on one side and develop the idea on the other – one note, two levels of information.
- Pen recommendation: The paper of the sticky notes is not identical to the Tomoe River paper of the Techo. Fine ballpoints, fineliners and pencils deliver reliably clean results. Fountain pens with broad nibs or high ink flow can feather depending on the pen – if using a fountain pen, an EF or F nib with a dry-writing ink system is your best choice.
- Archive temporary notes: A completed note can be peeled off, glued into an archive notebook or placed in a transparent sleeve – the adhesive layer is repositionable.
For Techo Enthusiasts
The 3.7 mm grid is no coincidence: it exactly matches the print grid of the memo pages in the Original and Cousin, which are printed on cream-coloured Tomoe River paper. The Add-on Sticky Notes use different paper – lighter in white tone, less ink-resistant. If you prioritise a seamless overall appearance, choose low-ink writing instruments such as oil-based ballpoint refills or fine fineliner tips. The perforation line is positioned so that folding creates a clean edge without protruding corners – an important detail for Techo users who also transport their books bound together.
